Did you
hear
that?
May 5,
2008
If you
have
your
speakers
turned
on and
hang out
for a
short
time
here on
our main
page,
you're
likely
to hear
something
that
you've
never
heard
before.
Oftentimes
a
claim
or
statement
is
made
as to
some
group
or
organization
being
the
first
or the
only
to do
something.
We
have
made
such
claims
in the
past
as
well.
However,
this
time
we are
absolutely,
positively,
certain
that
the
Wisconsin
EMS
Association
is the
very
first
and
the
only
EMS
organization
to
have
its
own
jingle
package!
The
reason
for
having
a
jingle?
Actually,
there
are
many.
We
will
use
these
in all
of our
media
productions
including
at the
conference,
on our
web
site,
in our
conference
and
EMS
Cruise
videos
and in
future
products
and
services
planned
for
2009
and
beyond.
Even
our
PowerPoint
presentations
will
play
one of
the
jingle
clips.
The
entire
package
includes
more
than a
dozen
versions
and
variations.
We'll
keep
this
one
on-line
for a
while.
If you
want
to
hear
it
again,
either
return
to the
main
page,
or
reload
your
browser
to
have
it
play
again.
